This is my biggest purchase: a set of 4 identical corbels. I’m not sure what I’ll do with them. Maybe on a guest house one day? Until then, I’ll just enjoy them.
I bought this cute 1922 calendar with my brother in mind. He loves to fish and is as rebellious as the boy in the illustration. I think he’ll like it.
I bought two old tool pouches because I’ve seen bags and pillows made with them that I absolutely love. (I’ll share one of them on a Friday Favorites post soon.)
I spotted these vintage office chairs and had to have them. Although they may not look it, they are incredibly comfortable. Plus, they’re so much prettier than the standard issue office chairs we’ve been using since renovating our home office.
I bought this really cute apron for $1. A DOLLAR, people. I couldn’t believe it.
I’m fascinated by typography — really, I have no idea why. Maybe it relates to my love of office supplies? Whatever the reason, I bought these cards and they’re now displayed on my bookshelves.
I discovered these little quilt blocks at the antique mall in Tyler, and bought about six of them. My theory is that they were a school project. Don’t you think they’ll be cute as pillows?
This miniature saddle will be a Christmas present for my stepfather . . . if I don’t decide to keep it first. It’s really cute and well made.
I bought this old hankie just because I thought it was unusual and hilarious. It’s destined to be a very cute pillow for our Americana living room.
No, that’s not a K and a 9, but a K and a lowercase G. I couldn’t resist them.
That’s about it for the last few weeks. Hope you enjoyed seeing my latest treasures. I know I like when other bloggers share their flea market purchases. I suppose I get a vicarious thrill from looking at their goodies. Anyway, I thought I’d give it a try and see what you think.
Great finds! 🙂
Wow – lucky finder!
I loved viewing your latest finds, Kim! The graphics on the calendar are wonderful! The quilt squares and tool pouches will make great pillows! I bought a quilt top that’s similar to your squares. It was made for somebody’s wedding, but never finished. I can’t help but think that maybe the marriage didn’t last.
Thanks for sharing!

I’m a total font geek! those type cards are wonderful and I’m totally envious of your find – all of them are wonderful – thanks for sharing – I too love seeing what others score!
I love to see what other people pick up and I especially enjoyed you telling us what you plan to do with your find. Feel free to post your finds anytime!
Kim! My word you have been busy 🙂 You found such beautiful and unusual things! I love all of them especially the Corbels. The quilt squares do look reminiscent of school projects they are so sweet. Using them for pillows will be lovely. I always look forward to reading your blog! Enjoy the day.
Yep! You are right…LOVE living vicariously through your flea market purchases!!
Kim,
I always love to see what people have found as well! I love the calendar so much! All your finds are great!
Thank you for sharing your loot!

Love, love, love your treasures, Kim!
Great stuff! I especially love the typography cards.
What a fun post. Love all your finds. I especially like your letters in the last photo. I’m wondering if maybe the ‘g’ could be turned over and maybe be used as a lowercase ‘a’. ??? TFS!!
